I'm interested in mining bitcoin, but do not have the technical expertise or inclination to build a mining rig. Can I invest my bitcoin in someone else's operation for a cut of the profits? What do I need to know as a newb investor to avoid getting ripped of or dealing with someone who lacks the technical competence to generate a return on investment while safe guarding my btc capitol? obviously mining is a high risk investment, what should I expect as far as returns on invested capitol. My investment objectives would be to; support the btc network, earn a decent return, mitigate risk to the greatest reasonable extent.

Mining used to be a form of speculation that was slightly less risky than buying and holding BTCs outright. Now that GPUs are on their way out, and FPGA boards don't hold their value compared to how GPUs did, an investment in mining is becoming nearly as risky as the investment in BTC or a greater risk even.

So the terms "mitigate risk" and "bitcoin mining" are not to be used in the same thread.

Ha, thanks. I understand that the 'buy and hold' risk and 'mining' risk are compounded. that's why my expectation is a return on investment denominated in btc, if I accept the risk associated with mining.
